MORE EVIDENCE
If you want to find opinion divided, ask a number
of Vernonia men if they think the auto is putting the
horse out of business. You will find them arguing on
both sides of the question. But here comes new evi
dence to support those who contend that the auto is
supplanting the horse—the U. S. Steel
Stee Corporation has
quit manufacturing steel
hoi
eel to be used in horseshoes.
The
big corporation says I that the demand 2 „
________
for this kind of
steel has declined to about 18,000 tons a year, and that
it does not pay them to tie up part of their plant making
this class of steel in such a small quantity when they
could be making railroad or building steel at better
prices. They intimate that delivery trucks are fast
taking the place of the horse, and that each new truck
means a few less horseshoes, the demand being more
and more from the farms and less from the city and
towns. We are not taking sides in the argument, how
ever, because we want to go right on believing that the
faithful old horse is going to be with us, and useful to
us, for all time to come.

OLD-FASHIONED REMEDY
For just about 20 yeai-s many parents have been try-
ing to bring up their children by sceptic piethods, by
influence-in-the-home methods, by

springs, but seemingly only to find a little later on that
their methods were not bearing the fruit they hoped for.
So now, for their benefit we want to offer a suggestion
on raising children as given out by D e . Rudolph Binder,
a teacher in New York University ana a practical man.
He told a New York newspaper the Qther day exactly
how to bring up children, and what ia lacking in the
present day methods. And his suggestion is simply
this: “Forget all these new-fangled methods and
theories and when a child is in need of a spanking—
see that it gets it and gets a good one.”

their own wages while the boss was
in town. The people were not con
sulted ; they hadn't any chance to ex
press an opinion in the matter either
way—but they will have to foot the
bill just the same. In a good many
instances they’ll also have to be con
tent to know that the raise wasn’t
justified, for considering the actual
services rendered by some of our pub
lic servants, they were overpaid be
fore the raise went into effect.
It costs a good deal to live in Wash
ington, no doubt about that. But the
men who were anxious to get there at
the old salary knew of the expense end
of it before they announced their can
didacies. Not one of them had to go
to Washington if he didn’t want to.
